Tri-Nations: Three straight losses for the Springboks and Oz and NZ are fighting it out for the title. As much as I'd prefer a Bok win, I think having a winner different than the Worl Cup champ is good for the sport. The Tri-N is like the SEC, if Florida, LSU and a rotating team were the entire conference.
USA: Our Eagles lost their 13th (I may be off by one; they all seem to run together) in a row and are closing in on the all-time record for consecutive losses, held by France, but looked much better against Munster (an Irish "name" club team) than against Clermont (a mid-level French club team) a few weeks ago. They seem to be playing hard and created some breaks for themselves that I hadn't seen before. They also occasionally played some really good defense.
